Earlier in the evening, a top-10 clash between the two schools women's
programs delayed the start of the men's game by more than an hour following
a four-overtime thriller. Kentucky outlasted the Lady Bears, 133-130, in the
highest scoring Division 1 women's game ever.

Baylor opened up 7-of-8 from the floor and carried a 16-7 lead into the first
media timeout. Randle injected some life into Kentucky with an emphatic jam at
14:01 and Aaron Harrison followed with a triple to pull the Wildcats back in
the game.

The Bears stayed in front until a Young trey at 6:57 knotted the score at
27-27.

Late in the period, Jefferson dunked twice around an Andrew Harrison layup to
make it 35-35 in the final minute. Andrew Harrison's 3 from the top of the key
bounced high off the rim and fell through in the closing seconds to give
Kentucky a three-point edge at the break.

The Wildcats came out of the locker rooms with a lot of energy, and a pair of
Randle free throws four minutes into the second half gave Kentucky its largest
lead at 46-37. Randle's dunk minutes later kept the lead at nine points before
Chery's jumper sparked an 8-0 Baylor charge.

The Bears gained their first lead of the second half on two Chery free throws
at 6:01. Austin's dunk just before the final media timeout made it 61-57.

Baylor led by two with under a minute left when Chery canned the biggest shot
of the game, a mid-range jumper from the right elbow, with 40.9 seconds
showing.

Aaron Harrison missed a runner on the other end to seal Kentucky's fate.

Game Notes

Kentucky fell to 1-2 at neutral sites this year ... Willie Cauley-Stein
blocked three shots for the Wildcats, giving him 19 blocks over his last three
tilts ... The Wildcats came in scoring 30 percent of their points from the
foul line, but shot just 12-of-23 from the line in this one and didn't make a
foul shot until late in the first half.
